Effects of chloride substitution on electromechanical responses in the pulmonary artery of Dahl normotensive and hypertensive rats.
Article in British journal of pharmacology, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
1. We have investigated the in vitro interaction between chloride ions and endothelium as revealed by alterations in vascular contractility and smooth muscle cell membrane potential in isolated pulmonary arteries from Dahl salt-resistant normotensive and salt-sensitive hypertensive rats. 2. Exposure to nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME) of tissues from normotensive but not hypertensive rats augmented contractions to cirazoline. While chloride removal did not alter cirazoline-induced contractions, it completely abolished the augmentation by l-NAME in normotensive rats. However, in hypertensive rats, removal of chloride ions significantly attenuated contractions elicited by cirazoline, and l-NAME effectively reversed this inhibition. 3. Methacholine-induced endothelium-dependent relaxations of the same magnitude were evident in both normotensive and hypertensive rats. However, basal cyclic GMP levels were found to be significantly higher (7.8-fold) in blood vessels of normotensive rats compared to hypertensive rats. 4. The resting membrane potential in pulmonary arteries of hypertensive rats (-52.1+/-1.04 mV) revealed a significant hyperpolarisation when compared with that of normotensive rats (-46.4+/-1.58 mV). Cirazoline did not produce a significant depolarisation in blood vessels of either normotensive or hypertensive rats. Perfusion with chloride-free solution resulted in a modest but significant hyperpolarisation (-8.0 mV) in the blood vessels of hypertensive but not in normotensive rats. 5. We conclude that salt-dependent hypertension in Dahl rats is accompanied by functional and biochemical changes in low-pressure blood vessels. These changes can, in part, be attributed to impairment in the basal, but not methacholine-stimulated, release of nitric oxide, and to altered chloride ion handling.
